One of the good or at least interesting effects of so many league clubs being heavily in debt is that they are being forced to think of new ways of making money. For almost a hundred years, supporters' clubs rallied round, held raffles, ran competitions, sold badges and gave the profits to the club, who were usually totally ungrateful and continued to treat them like dirt. For the past 30 years, clubs themselves have made money by selling their souls to shirt sponsors.
